The Finals was shadowdropped in December 2023 after some highly successful beta tests, stunning audiences worldwide. With a new season on the horizon and Embark Studios working to optimise the game as far as possible, the first esports tournament for the title has been revealed. The Finals was designed with esports in mind, with the core concept of the game being based around players competing in an arena in front of thousands of spectators.

On June 18, the first tournament for The Finals will debut on Twitch. It’s simply titled Twitch Rivals: The Finals, and it’ll see twenty-four top players competing for a $50,000 prize pool. It’s exclusive to North American competitors and has a simple ruleset, with the entire tournament unfolding on the Cashout game mode.

The Finals Is Now An Esports Game

During Twitch Rivals, the first tournament for The Finals will unravel, being played across a single day and welcoming twenty-four competitors. For the winning team, there’s a $15,000 prize waiting to be scooped up. Here’s everything you need to know about The Finals’ first esports tournament.

Format and Ruleset

Mode: Cashout

In Cashout, players compete in teams of three to secure more cash in eight minutes than any other team. They can secure cash by killing their opponents or by stealing stacks of money and depositing them in ‘Cashout Stations’ around the map. It’s a highly tactical game mode that requires players to watch their death rates, protect Cashout Stations, and fight to secure Cash Boxes that appear around the map.

Teams: 3v3v3v3 (24 players total)

Maps: Las Vegas, Monaco, Seoul, Skyway, SYS

The premise of this tournament will see teams fight across three rounds, each of which will boast five maps. The eight teams will be split into two groups, with said groups being divided after each round. Teams will accrue points based on their finishing position in each map – that’s basically it.

Even the bottom-placing team will walk away with a little prize money – $2000, to be precise. It’s a substantial prize pool considering it’s the first esports tournament for The Finals. Let’s just hope it sets a strong precedent and more follow.
